Final Thoughts

I really have enjoyed this course. Over the semester I think that I have learned so much about

technology that I never even knew existed! I never thought that I would be able to do so well with the projects that we have done throughout this semester. I definitely had my struggles, but I think that I learned even more from those struggles. They helped me realized that I do have the potential to work with technology and to that I can be successful in doing so.

The one thing that caused me the most stress this semester was definitely the Flipchart. I love the concept of it, however I struggled when attempting to make my own and to assemble all the aspects of it. It look me a lot of extra work, but I finally finished it and I think that they final outcome was okay. I would have liked to spend more time learning about Active Inspire and smart boards in general, but I understand that the time in this course did not allow for that. On the other hand my favorite project would definitely be the digital story. I enjoyed it so much and I really feel that I learned new skills that will help in my own classroom when I want to create movies to teach lessons to my students.

I feel so much more prepared to use technology in my future classroom after taking this course. I think that my website along with my classroom blog will help me to stay in contact with my students' parents and let them know what is going on in my classroom. I am a lot more confident with my technology knowledge today than I was at the beginning of the semester when class first started. I cannot wait to put all of my technology skills to use in my classroom!
